Civ1 DOS v Win

[Alex Johnson]

Simple question with either a really short or a really long answer. What are the game information differences between the DOS and Windows versions. I do not want to hear about how the interface works or doesn't work. I only want to know where the rules of the game are different: tech tree differences, unit score differences, build cost differences, etc. In the ideal world the games would be identical except in the way the interface works, but developers always take porting to new platforms as a chance to change things.

If you need a project, you could get a copy of the manual for each and compare them line for line. Then publish you results.

Often the publisher just uses the same manual, or chapters of the manual, without updating them after making changes in the game. Looking at the manual won't find all the differences in most cases. I also don't have WinCiv. Only DOS Civ. I was wondering if I got a copy if everything I know remains the same of if there are many minor but annoying differences.

Do we know if the bugs from Civ DOS are also present in WinCiv? Like the settler bug, the waterbridge bug, the AI triremes that cross oceans without sinking, etc?
